Animals are alive. That's really it. Over the years I've made a raku tiger, a raku elephant, naked raku gazelle horns, duck sculptures, a dove, a hummingbird, a whale whistle, and a frog on a lily pad. Each one came from somewhere specific. A place, a moment, an obsession. Some have photographs. Some don't. All of them have a story.

This group of work explores resist techniques I’ve been developing over the years. I was interested in the balance of control and unpredictability, where each piece starts with a plan, but the surface can shift from structured to more organic depending on the process.
